Elon Musk accused the media and high schools and colleges of being "racist against whites and Asians" in the US on Sunday, and defended Dilbert creator Scott Adams after the cartoonist had posted a video containing a racist tirade. I interviewed people who research: racial discrimination, media bias, education, civil rights and crime trends about what they thought of his remarks. They brought the data. The story is over at CNBC -- https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/26/elon-musk-calls-us-media-and-schools-racist-against-whites-asians-.html

Arguing that folks are overreacting to DeSantis being a fascist, because Trump is a worse fascist, is not only pressupposing things we don't know, but also obtuse and unhinged on its very face.

That having been said; one should expect no better from the New York Times - a rag that has always had a soft spot for the next Hitler; both at home and abroad.

Folks keep acting like this is all a big mistake; it's not man. This is what the Times does. This is literally their job and it's never changed

Republican voters are falling behind economically and by every other societal standard because they vote Republican.

My dad flew twenty-five B-17 bomb runs against Nazi Germany. Here decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross in England, he remained bitter for decades. I had to plead with him to let me buy a Volkswagon as a teen. He died in 1982, after telling me, "I worry this Reagan fool is full step-down the slippery slope and all that terror I faced at only 21—that made me such old man ever since— will just come around again."

::Sigh::

New GOP Plan: Rob YOU blind! In 2017, Republicans gave $2,000,000,000,000 to the richest—paid for by the American workers! But don’t worry—they’ll tax you more, eliminate Social Security, and cut Medicare to pay for it!
Why not just raise the Social Security age to 120? #SSI #SocialSecurity #GOPTraitors

Tough story from ProPublica on a really disturbing child welfare case in Utah where two teens have barricaded themselves in a bedroom to stop a court order trying to force them back to their abusive dad.

Here in Alaska, people are literally starving themselves into the hospital because of a backlog in the state's food-stamp program: https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2023/02/26/alaskas-unprecedented-food-stamp-backlog-is-taking-a-harsh-toll-on-rural-communities/ #akleg #Alaska

This story is wild. Jack Anderson was a pretty amazing journalist back in the day who exposed a ton of far right chicanery, but I had no idea that G. Gordon Liddy and Nixon had explicit conversations about how to murder him. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/03/25/nixon-jack-anderson-assassination/

It's almost as if #desantis wrote these descriptions* of the "Don't Say Gay" bill himself:

'to restrict certain classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity.'

'bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade and lessons deemed not age-appropriate.'

But, sadly- they're from #cnn and the #AP. And NO MENTION AT ALL about how teachers could get fired for mentioning they had a same-sex spouse... (1/2)

Tamara Mikhaylovna, from Russia, says that because of Putin the whole world hates them now.

I don't think that's just because of Putin. Thousands in Russian army kill, loot, ruin.

Millions of Russians remain quiet.

Anyone else feeling this?

Pacifists: you want to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Get Russia to withdraw from Ukraine's territory. That would immediately end the war.

Today is the mark of the illegal invasion of Crimea and marks 3287 days of the “Russian invasion of Ukraine”. Please help spread the facts, and dispel Russian propaganda. 9 years of war in Ukraine, not 1. 3287 days of war, not 368.

A reminder that Musk is turning Twitter into many things including a monument to himself. I put the @ sign into the Twitter search box in a logged-out session, and the sole account the autofill suggests is -- you're way ahead of me.
